Frequently asked questions
What is a prop firm activation fee?
It's a one-time charge to open your funded account after you pass the evaluation. Some firms charge $100 to $500; others charge nothing.
Which futures prop firms have no activation fee?
Tradeify, MyFundedFutures and Lucid Trading charge no activation fee on current plans. Bulenox Momentum and Topstep's No Activation Fee path also skip it.
Is a no-activation-fee plan always cheaper?
Not always. Topstep's No Activation Fee path costs more per month, so it's only cheaper if you pass within a few months.
